Kid reviews for The Fast and the Furious

People say this movie is crappy, well you gotta cut it a little slack because it was made way back in 2001. So maybe the action level and visual effects weren't enough for some... I though it was a very well made movie. The camera really captured the nitty gritty side of street racing. There is a lot of language and violence though (oil is poured into a man's mouth and a main character is trapped against a moving gas truck, which is shown in great and bloody detail) the n-word and other language is also used. The casting was great, especially Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, and the extremely beautiful Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto. The language, violence, poor choices, and flashy cars will not mix well with those under 14 years old.

bad show

Common Sense Media are being too harsh on this brilliant movie the violence is just at the same level as any other movie in the series so the violence is 3/5 despite stupid common sense thinking its 5/5

Literally the best movie I've ever seen. the whole franchise is so good. id die for these movies. some things are iffy for kids under 12, but nothing that this generation cant handle.

"The Fast and the Furious" is a drama/thriller/action movie by Rob Cohen. Explosions, girls wearing skimpy dresses and illegal drug races - that's pretty much all to expect from this movie. Like its sequels, this movie is made especially for people who are intersted in cars and action movies, especially the male ones. But for all the other viewers, out of the target group, there is not much to see. It desperately tries to connect the sequences of car races and action with a storyline, the script is very poorly written and has questionable messages. It is a story of friendship, yes, but the movie makes it look like being befriended with a gangster is an excuse of letting him do anything. You have to keep in mind that the protagonist is an undercover cop. Women are nothing more than the male protagonist's accessoirs, rather than having any personality or any contribution to the plot. The actors are so-so - they are not overacting, but there are no memorable performances. Overall, t is not the worst movie, at least it has a plot, and some entertaining content, but still, the screenplay is very weak, the messages and the depictions of women are bad and the movie as a whole is a very shallow and disappointing movie. (NOTE: Because of all the gender-based informations given here, i want to note that i am male. I just want to support women's rights) ---------------------------------------------- The movie is a pretty accurate PG-13. A man is tortured by having motor oil spilled over him. A man's arm is stuck in a truck, is shot and gets very bloody. Many shootings, a violent undertone. One use of the f-word, several other tems such as s--t and d--n. Some racist or homophobic terms. A sexual innuendo, but no sex or nudity. A man grabs a woman's breasts. It is an average PG-13, if you don't mind it has bad messages and questionable messages. Should be okay for teens and up.

Definitely not for kids under 13. Movie has interesting plot, but there is too much profanity and sex that takes away from the rest of it.

This is a great action film with lots of action and suspense best film ever

Very good movie with some violence and blood moderate cursing but overall very good

The movie has a lot of life. The stylish plot about street racing is what keeps the movie going. the acting may not be that great but besides that the action and violence is very awesome. With all of these elements the fast and the furious keeps being backs memories of the tv shows of the 1950's and classics.
